Without telling me, they later re-issued the illustrations as part of a series of smaller joke books, for sale in the US Market, with my name on the cover, but I did not write the jokes—someone else can take the blame for that! Theses little editions also included a bunch of uncredited art from Shutterstock that I did not do, but they are still very fun for kids. You can buy them on Amazon.com here: https://amzn.to/2VU4eO8

Here’s a look at all the images I created for this project… along with the jokes they illustrate… Except I lost the brief for the magic-themed ones at the end, so let me know if you have any idea what they were supposed to be. I guess now one of us will have to buy the books…
